Photographer's Note

We were sitting in a café on Stradun (or Placa, to give it its official name). Stradun is Dubrovnik's main pedestrian thoroughfare, where the nightly "passeggiata" takes place. This was the early afternoon, but I always love people-watching from street cafes in the Mediterranean. And on this occasion I wasn't disappointed, as this lady passed by, devouring an ice-cream. I don't think she was a nun, though I hoped she was.

Hi Will,
Your timing really could not be better as this lady bites into the ice cream. The focus is really nicely done, she is pin sharp and a slightly softer feel to the rest of the scene. A lovely choice in black and white too, its kind of sombre, and that balances the smile I have from looking at the lady eating the ice cream. Very cool.
Cheers
Noel

Hi Will.
I too thought at first glance that she was a nun! A great photo with the lady caught with her mouth wide open ready to devour the ice cream. Good fun and a lovely example of street photography in b/w.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hello Will,
I have many fantastic memories from Dubrovnik and of course Stradun.
It´s excellently observed and executed daily-life scene!
It looks superb in B&W.What I like more about it is the bokeh so nicely separating FG from the backdrop.
